multiple sclerosis medication

Tweet

I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis (MS) in February this year. When my neurologist told my husband and me what was wrong with me, I was relieved because I finally had a name for the weird things that were going wrong with my body. But I was somewhat perturbed when the neurologist asked me what medication I wanted to inject myself with. I hate needles, I didn't think I'd ever be able to give myself a needle. I decided to use Avonex, based solely on the reason that I would only have to jab myself once a week instead of several times a week. Now, over three months later, I feel competent in giving myself my medication with a needle, and I do a good job of it. But I am going to be so happy when they finally find a good medication for me to take by mouth!
